The story of the film Sakhhii deals with odd jobs done by individuals. Shyamal is one such individual who provides false witnesses for court cases in exchange of money. A poor village girl Sikha came to the city with her aged father and young sister in search of a job. Life takes a turn when she is raped by Jagat, the brother of a corrupt influential personality Bhai Da. The court dismissed the case because a fake witness was provided by Shyamal which resulted in Sikha being called a prostitute. What will Sikha do next?
